Using AutoHotkey as a backend engine for PowerShell
Well. I author something similar, it's a bridge to use AHK from Python, but when it comes to this idea of a fully structured means of passing data between the two platforms that's something that this package implements.
-
AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
There is a nice python wrapper[1], perhaps that could work for your uses?

How to automate windows without needing to get away from keyboard?
Check out AutoHotkey (AHK) for simple Windows automation needs. There is a python wrapper: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk
-
Alternative to pyautogui for mouse click
There's pynput but that might have the same problem. If you're on Windows AutoHotkey is an awesome way to automate mouse and keyboard actions (but it's a different language than Python, although it seems someone has made a Python wrapper for it).
-
Which python library: ahkpy or ahk?
In this case, both seem reasonably active for a project like this. The latter (https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk) seems more active and has more comprehensive docs.
-
What are some of the main reasons I should switch to pytest from unittest?
I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but one of my projects does this. Most the tests are unittest.TestCase style, some of them are pytest style. All the tests are run just using pytest.
-
Interacting with Python
So, I author a Python ahk package that does this currently using IPC. The default model starts AHK and stops immediately for each command
-
Can Python do everything AHK can do?
Well, you can leverage AHK with a Python library. So, yes, Python can do everything AHK can do and more.
-
AHK is NOT user friendly
Anyhow. AHK's non-user-friendliness is also what motivated me to make a Python wrapper for AHK. So I TOTALLY get where you're coming from!
-
Tech savvy people of Reddit, what is a computer tip you are sure most haven't heard of?
Maybe you'd like the python wrapper for AutoHotkey better.

If you want a standalone cross platform text expander I currently enjoy using Espanso[1]

Bad Emacs Defaults
Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
https://espanso.org/
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
